Oshki-Aki LP Presented Clean, Green & Beautiful Award Recognizing Mount McKay Pow Wow Grounds

April 27, 2015 – The City of Thunder Bay’s Clean, Green and Beautiful Committee presented the annual awards to celebrate organizations and businesses whose building and renovation projects enrich the life of the community through public art, beautification, heritage and environmental greening. Fort William First Nation, Oshki-Aki LP, a joint venture partnership with True Grit Consulting Limited and project partner FORM Architecture Engineering, received the 2015 Public Spaces Award in recognition of Fort William First Nation’s completed Mount McKay Pow Wow Grounds project.

The Mount McKay Pow Wow Grounds hold a significant history for Fort William First Nation, dating back to the early 1930s as a gathering space to celebrate and share culture and heritage. The redesigned and engineered Pow Wow Grounds include an innovative wooden circular structured design mirroring the traditional medicine wheel with four entry points at each of the cardinal points and semi-circular bleachers with a seating capacity for 560 people. The raised centre arbour is a focal point with a sacred fire pit and poured concrete foundation to accommodate a drum circle. The Grounds also include a partially covered Elders area, dedicated accessible seating areas, and a patterned cement walkway stamped with designs by a local artist around the perimeter and open views to the grounds outside it and the natural mountain backdrop.

The circular wooden structure is a new and defined space developed specifically around Pow Wow activities and includes space for drumming and dancing. The entire arena structure was designed with wood. The dimensional lumber used was FSC (Forest Steward Council) cut. The pressure treated wood was treated with a MicroPro preservative system, which is the first treated wood process to be certified under Scientific Certifications Systems Environmental preferred products (EPP). The project also considered Storm Water Management and the grounds were raised to avoid water accumulation problems and drainage off the site. Oshki-Aki LP engineering firm (a partnership between Fort William First Nation and True Grit Consulting Ltd) headed up this project. FORM Architecture Engineering was selected as the Architects. Also contributing to the project was AG Engineering as the Electrical Engineer, and RML Contracting.
